You seem to be one of those "security people" Linus refers to. ;)

Harm is relative. You security people think that every single security issue is so important that it doesn't matter what harm mitigating that may cause, it can be done. Well, that is not what Linus thinks.

Kernel may terminate a process because it did something of suspect but doing that may actually cause way _more_ harm.

The philosophy here is that security bugs are just bugs.
